It's crazy to realize that more than six months have passed since I began this blog and have only gotten ONE post done. That's half a year!! So many events have happened during that time - my fibromyalgia progressed rapidly, my mother had a heart attack; and between just those two life-changers, I gave up my full-time job where I've been employed the last 11 years.

I still have my booth at Good Old Days Antiques & More in Rosebud, MO; which carries mostly scrapbook supplies. I'd like to build up the selection and possibly have an online offering. I have lots of ideas of how I'd like to grow Memory Lane Treasures and I plan to share those ideas with you - my friends, followers and customers - in hopes that you'll share your comments and suggestions. The challenge will be to stay focused, build on my strengths and not get off on too many tangents!Since photos play such a monumental role in our lives and scrapbooking, I came across a "Photo-A-Day Challenge" hosted by The Idea Room. I've decided to participate in the challenge, but not get bent out of shape if I miss a day, or two... or several. This will help me to capture more of the every day moments and should provide for some great scrapbooking ideas! Maybe it's something you'd like to try?The word for January 1 is "Goal," so here's my first photo. Like so many others, one of my goals for 2014 is to exercise. Yoga is supposed to be great for fibromyalgia; however, we'll have to see if I'm able to do some serious dancing with Shaun T's workouts without them killing me. I love to dance, so it won't feel like exercise to me!
